It appears this campaign is aimed at young children and I question the wisdom of using the term "sexual identity."

A seven year old is unlikely to be aware of the various "sexual identities" and I don't think that is an appropriate age to explain the differences between heterosexuals, homosexuals, bi-sexuals, transexuals, and all the other possibilities.

Re the whole diversity thing, I have a problem with it because it just isn't true ....

"Tolerance is a personal decision that comes from a belief that every person is a treasure. I believe that America's diversity is its strength"

I don't see any evidence that every person is, in fact, a treasure, or that America's strength is derived from its diversity. Many nations with very little or no diversity do very well.

All in all it's a harmless bit of pablum, but when I worked for the federal government I had it shoved down my throat on a daily basis and it gets old after a while.
